Almost 30

Tune in for a new episode every Tuesday and Thursday to hear our honest conversations about topics like wellness, entrepreneurship, spirituality & self-development.
IT’S REAL, IT’S RAW AND IT’S UNFILTERED. Inspired by our transition from our twenties to our thirties we realized it’s so much more than that. Almost 30’s mission is to provide you with the tools & motivation you need to propel your personal growth and to navigate any transition in your life.
We are an online and offline space where listeners can gather, relate and connect to one another in our beautiful and global community.

Almost 30 is all about tools, tricks, and insights that anyone can use to feel happier and more aligned as they navigate the big transitions in their life… but we’ve never really talked about WHY people feel happy. Like what’s going in these mammal brains of ours? So Lindsey + Krista sat down with Loretta Breuning, PhD, a professor, an author, and the Founder of The Inner Mammal Institute. Loretta teaches people how to build power over their mammalian brain chemistry and understand nature’s operating system.

Because if we understand the science of what’s happening when we form habits or feel a certain way, we have the power to manipulate those chemicals, rewire our brains, and ultimately, live a better life. Are you ready to make peace with your inner mammal?

We discuss…

Early brain development

Why it’s so difficult to create new neural pathways in our brains after puberty

Our impulse to want more

Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, & endorphin

The medical model VS the animal world

Ups + downs being NORMAL

Do animals have memories like we do?

Why the size of your brain directly correlates to the length of childhood (and the animal with the biggest brain)

The amazing miracle of reproduction

Breaking an addictive habit

Getting back to neutral after experiencing trauma

Endorphins + GABA

Every single person being wired for an individual experience (and feeling a little different from the herd)
